Due to a storm-related power outage in our host’s neighborhood, our January 10 meeting needs to be rescheduled for our regular February 14 meeting. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused our presenters and participants.
We are fortunate to have two presentations.
1. Update on the ESP FIRE Foundry Course: Frontiers of Fire (9 units)
The course, prepared by Josh Dimon (FIRE Foundry) and ESP team members (Belle Cole, Meg McCabe, Tanya Baxter, Sophia Porter, and Paul da Silva} enables students to explore the connection between a healthy ecosystem and wildfire management through an understanding of the principles of the Ecological Sound Practices including their application to wildfire mitigation practices.
We will present the course outline and seek your participation for this coming Spring and Summer sessions.
2. Raising awareness about Urban Forests: Creating a healthy, safe and climate responsive urban forest
You will learn about planting trees: right species, right place, for the right reasons. Our presenters are uniquely qualified:
Igor Lacan, University of Calfornia Cooperative Extension Advisor for the San Francisco Bay Area who specializes in urban forestry.
Nancy Hughes, Executive Director of The California Urban Forests Council.
